Compare Mowers
List prices are the manufacturer’s published figures, re-checked daily; they exclude tax, freight and dealer setup.
A side-by-side reference of each model's stated specifications. MowerFacts doesn’t give opinions: where a published, spec-derived rule can separate machines we mark a Data Pick and show the rule; here, read the values and decide what fits your needs.

What each model is built for, from its duty class and key specs. This is a neutral reference — MowerFacts does not rank one model above another.
- Wright ZXT 52 FXT00 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered
- Exmark Vertex X-Series (52 in) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZXT 52 FXT00 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 6 in (152 mm); Vertex X-Series (52 in) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- ZXT 52 FXT00 weighs 1,491 lbs (676.3 kg); Vertex X-Series (52 in) weighs 1,250 lbs (567 kg), a 241 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What ZXT 52 FXT00's weight means for a trailer ›
- ZXT 52 FXT00 has a 38.5 hp engine; Vertex X-Series (52 in) has a 35 hp engine, a 3.5 hp difference. Published horsepower is the maker's rating at a stated engine speed. It is a different measure from displacement, and two engines of equal rating can pull differently.
- ZXT 52 FXT00 holds 15.5 gal (58.7 L) of fuel; Vertex X-Series (52 in) holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel, a 1.5 gal difference. Tank size bounds how long a machine runs between stops. Consumption varies with engine, load and speed, so hours per tank are not fixed.
- ZXT 52 FXT00 has a published top speed of 13 mph; Vertex X-Series (52 in) has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- ZXT 52 FXT00 works out to 5.5 acres/hour; Vertex X-Series (52 in) works out to 5.0 acres/hour, a 0.4 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
